To load the initial data just use the OFBiz install routine through ant or directly with Java and the ofbiz.jar executable JAR file. By default the install routine will load the "seed" and "demo" sets of data files, as defined in the entityengine.xml file and in the ofbiz-component.xml file in each component.

Run one of these the following two options from the command line in the ofbiz home directory to run the default install routine:

...

Definition: Seed Initial Data is data that is only required the first time the system is loaded like the password of the admin user. Later if you want to update the seed data, you would normally do not want the password of admin to be set back to the 'ofbiz' value.

Expert Recommendation: For smaller installations we recommend loading the demo data and modifying it through the OFBiz applications rather than creating all of the data from scratch.

For larger installations we recommend creating data files with your own settings, copied from the demo data, or simply creating all data from scratch. These can be added to the "ext" set of install data files, which is done by referencing those files in an ofbiz-component.xml file entity-resource tag with the attribute reader-name="ext".

To load the "seed" and "ext" groups run something like:

...

The OFBiz demo data includes a Party with ID "admin" and it has a number of UserLogin accounts associated with it that have varying permissions.

Note the following configuration changes: 1.

1. For production systems the passwords on all UserLogin accounts associated with the "admin" party should be changed from their default values.

...

1. The default password for the "admin" userLoginId is "ofbiz"

...

1. which is also the same for the "flexadmin" and "demoadmin" accounts.
2. The "1" account is meant to be used with the POS system so the new password should include only numbers to make it easier to use with the POS client.

Expert Recommendation: while While the "admin" party is the most critical user you need to make sure the passwords are changed for, there are other parties you should also check , and change the password for all User Login accounts associated with these parties. This includes "ltdadmin" and "externaluser" and if . If the demo data is loaded (done by default) then also change the passwords for the users "DemoBuyer", "DemoRepAll", and "DemoRepStore".
